Cafe Renée

This spot definitely lived up to the hype! The atmosphere is gorgeous and I loved the vibe. The service was super attentive and kind. The food was also amazing! The ravioli was definitely the show stopper of the night and i also adored the cheese sticks. The branzino wasn’t my favourite because it was fried, I didn’t realize that’s how it would come when we ordered it, they’re usually grilled. Otherwise though, this was a fantastic meal!

They have a good happy hour, $10 martini selection ranging from dirty, espresso, vesper and more. The food overall was subpar, the ravioli was undercooked. Probably to keep them all intact to each other. The desserts were quite good so I’d say just come for some martinis, dessert and the vibe.

A bit tight on space. Came here for our anniversary but the servers did not acknowledge this even though we made reservations in advanced, as it was 2 of us we were denied the booth seating and had to sit at the bar for our anniversary. Had the steak tartare and chicken liver, 2 pastas for entrees and we had 2 martini each but it was not well crafted. The flavour was not complex and felt like liquor was just bar rail mixed together on ice. Servers were not rude, nor friendly. Nice ambience though.

Tried making reservations here a few weeks in advance and nothing was available. It stated that they have limited reservations available and more available with a walk in. Walked in at 5:15pm and was seated in a high top table, all the other tables had reservations on them… a little misleading. Nonetheless we had a great experience. The food was good and our server was great. They have happy hour everyday from 5-7pm; half off martini’s. We went with dishes that were recommended due to popularity. They didn’t disappoint.

I loved the atmosphere of the place. The interior was great, the music matched perfectly, and the servers were friendly. The food was good too, but the portions were small. Even two dishes weren’t enough for one person. It’s the kind of place that’s perfect for Instagram. It’s worth visiting once, but not somewhere I’d go back to. If you’re into cute spots, this is definitely the place for you. However, if you’re looking to fill up, it might not be the best choice. The food was decent overall, but I didn’t feel it was worth the price.

Incredible experience at Cafe Renee today. Went here to celebrate my friends birthday - they were so warm and friendly, gave us a beautiful cozy both and treated us to celebratory mimosas. The staff was so lovely, food was great - will definitely go back to try dinner!

After passing by this restaurant a few times this month we decide to check it out. Beautiful Parisian interior with French and Italian offerings. Service was good, the restaurant seemed very busy and I felt the staff were overwhelmed, but the staff still delivered a great service and their hard work is noticeable. We ordered Lasagna Blanca which is made to order. Although it was runny and the meal was not as hot (temperature) as I like it to be, The flavour was very good. For dessert, we ordered fresh fruit pavola. Which was mostly meringue topped with mixed berries. The presentation was nice but I found it too sweet and this is coming from someone who has a sweet tooth. The staff was helpful and made sure we were satisfied. Clean and well-stocked bathrooms. Overall it was a good experience, we will return in future.

Had an amazing brunch experience at this viral restaurant on Portland. The exterior and interior is very French inspired. Loved the atmosphere and it wasn’t packed so it was a great pick for catching up with your girlfriends. My fave brunch dishes were the smoked Branzino & potato rosti and the banana brown butter pain perdu (French toast). Found the latte a bit on the higher end at $8 but overall the price points are great. Definitely coming back for dinner!
